Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Clinical Psychology care with Dr. Ross:
- What is the main difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?

- What happens in a first therapy session?
- Dr. Ross's initial session is an intake to understand your concerns, history, and goals. It's a chance to connect and see if you feel comfortable working together. This first meeting is also an opportunity for you to determine if Dr. Ross is the right therapist for you.

- No. While psychologists treat mental illnesses, they also help people with common life challenges like stress management, grief, relationship issues, and navigating major life transitions.
- What is psychological testing used for?
- Psychological testing at Dr. Ross's practice uses a series of standardized tests and interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of a person's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

- What is EMDR therapy?
- EMDR is a specialized therapy that helps people heal from trauma and difficult experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, to help the brain process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.
